DescriptionThis red, white and blue striped one piece cut-away style swimsuit follows bikini designs of the 1960s and 1970s with a narrow strap fastening between the shoulder blades and hi-cut briefs. The swimsuit's distinctive front panel is attached to the hips and bust with three opalescent plastic rings. HistoryBy the early 1970s the enthusiasm for the bikini had been tempered by a fashion for strategically designed cut-away swimsuit styles that combined elements of the bikini and the one piece. SignificanceThis swimsuit is representative of cut-away one piece swimsuit designs fashionable in the 1970s.
